A priest stands at left in a yellow turban, bare-chested with a black rudraksha-style mala and gold beads, wearing a white dhoti with gold border and red and gold wrist threads. He holds a brass plate of ripe bananas toward a fire pit with burning wood beside a lotus kolam drawn in white. Behind him, three deity murtis are dressed in red and silver garments and adorned with floral garlands and a golden arched canopy with paisley carving and striped festoons. Brass kalashas and offering pots sit before the murtis. The scene suggests a homa or puja set up for Navaratri devi worship at KAILASA Hyderabad.
